Police said Sinclair and the teen were riding around in another vehicle stolen from Lewiston Sunday evening when Sinclair jumped from the vehicle and knocked Lily-Anne Tyler, 16, to the ground and took her purse.

Tyler suffered scrapes and bruises in the attack.

"It's a relief to know that they caught them. I will sleep a lot better now knowing it's not going to happen to anyone else," Tyler said.

Sinclair is charged with one count of robbery and violation of conditions of release. He was out on bail for a previous theft charge, police said.

The teen was charged with criminal conspiracy to commit robbery.

Sinclair is being held without bail at the Androscoggin County Jail, and the teen is being held at the Long Creek Juvenile Detention Center.
